Hogs' newcomer fearless with shot

FAYETTEVILLE -- C.J. Jones was 4 years old the first time he went to Coach Mike Anderson's camp at Alabama-Birmingham.

"You really weren't supposed to start until you're 6," Jones said. "But they let me come in when I was 4 because my dad used to play there."

Jones -- whose father Chad played for the Blazers during the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons -- said even at that age, he knew he wanted to play for Anderson.

Fast forward to this season and Jones is a 6-5 freshman guard for Anderson's Arkansas Razorbacks.

"I really hoped I'd get this chance," Jones said Wednesday at Arkansas' media day.
